Abstract
A method and apparatus to adjust a printing width of a printing paper. The method includes modifying a previously-provided width decision value used to decide the width of the printing paper or a previously-provided height decision value used to decide a height of the printing paper, deciding a speed value of the motor placed horizontally and a speed value of the motor placed vertically from the modified width decision value or the modified height decision value, and driving the motors placed horizontally and vertically in accordance with the decided speed values of the motors placed horizontally and vertically and printing the data.
Claims19
A method of adjusting a printing width of a printing paper performed in a printer that drives motors placed horizontally and vertically and that prints data, the method comprising:
- modifying a previously-provided width decision value used to decide a width of the printing paper or a previously-provided height decision value used to decide a height of the printing paper;
- deciding a speed value of the motor placed horizontally and a speed value of the motor placed vertically from the modified width decision value or the modified height decision value;
- and
- driving the motors placed horizontally and vertically in accordance with the decided speed values of the motors placed horizontally and vertically and printing the data.
An apparatus that adjusts a printing width of a printing paper included in a printer that drives motors placed horizontally and vertically and that prints data, the apparatus comprising:
- a printing width value modification unit having a width decision value to decide a width of the printing paper, or a height decision value to decide a height of the printing paper, that modifies the width decision value or the height decision value in response to a user's modification request signal, and outputs the result of modification;
- a speed value decision unit deciding speed values of motors placed horizontally and vertically in response to the result of modification and outputs the results of the decision;
- and
- a motor drive controlling unit driving the motors placed horizontally and vertically, in accordance with the decided speed values of the motors in response to the results of the decision.
A method of adjusting a printing width of a printing paper, the method comprising:
- selectively modifying at least one of a previous width decision value used to decide a width of the printing paper and a previous height decision value used to decide a height of the printing paper;
- deciding a speed value of the motor placed horizontally and a speed value of the motor placed vertically from the selectively modified width decision value and the modified height decision value;
- and
- driving the motors placed horizontally and vertically according to the decided speed values of the motors placed horizontally and vertically.
An apparatus, including first and second motors to drive printing operations, to adjust a printing width of a printing paper, comprising:
- a printing width value modification unit having both a width decision value to decide a width of the printing paper, and a height decision value to decide a height of the printing paper, that selectively modifies at least one of the width decision value and the height decision value in response to a user's modification request signal, and outputs the result of modification;
- a speed value decision unit to decide speed values of the first and second motors in response to the result of modification and outputs the results of the decision;
- and
- a motor drive controlling unit to drive the first and second motors according to the decided speed values of the motors in response to the results of the decision.
